CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR ALAN PAGE

Constitutional Law provides the first full account of the constitutional framework within which the government of Scotland has been carried on since devolution, and of the governance of Scotland as they stand on the eve of the historic referendum on independence.

A very different book from J D B Mitchell’s predecessor in this series, which was first published fifty years ago, this new title charts the long march to devolved government in Scotland. After examining Scotland’s current constitutional arrangements, as set out in the Scotland Act and the Human

Rights Act, it explores the separate Scottish, United Kingdom and European dimensions of the contemporary governance of Scotland. This text is written from a Scottish perspective, differentiating it from the majority of UK constitutional law writing.

Written by one of the UK’s leading constitutional lawyers, this significant and timely work offers the most complete and in-depth treatment of the subject and is an essential tool for solicitors and any others with a professional interest in the governance of Scotland.
